Kat Holloway knows that her beau and confidante Daniel McAdam has a talent for dangerous work as a Scotland Yard agent. At long last though, Daniel’s coldhearted boss has promised that after a final mission, his debt will be repaid, and he’ll finally be free. However, Daniel must risk his life one last time, masquerading as a secretary to an elderly viscount who could be the mastermind behind the recent plots against the Queen and her government.

Using her contacts throughout London, Kat discovers several of her friends and colleagues have been victims of vicious blackmail. They’ll do anything to protect their scandalous secrets, even conform to the blackmailer’s political agenda. If Kat and Daniel wish to save each other and the Crown, they must prove the blackmailer’s identity and evade those who will stop at nothing to eliminate them.

Review:

Cozy, mysterious, and enjoyable!

In this latest novel by Ashley, A Silence in Belgrave Square, we head back to 1884, and into the life of the dependable cook Kat Holloway as she now finds herself doing whatever she can to discover the identity of a blackmailer who seems to be targeting all her friends, while also constantly worrying about the man who owns her heart.

The writing is light and fluid. The characters are intelligent, multi-layered, and inquisitive. And the plot is a compelling whodunit full of twists, turns, friendship, suspects, tradition, danger, deduction, red herrings, and amateur sleuthing.

Overall, A Silence in Belgrave Square is an atmospheric, entertaining, highly satisfying tale by Ashley that I thoroughly enjoyed and which is undoubtedly another fantastic addition to the Below the Stairs Mystery series.
